Gameplay
After polluting Earth, colonists settle a new planet. The native lifeforms are not initially hostile, but as the human colonists destroy their habitats by polluting the world, the lifeforms grow increasingly restless. The human factions are split among ideological boundaries and receive different bonuses. Although the technology tree is partially randomised, there are still prerequisites that must be researched.[1][2]

The game was written by game journalist Dan Griliopoulos, who was inspired by Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Slitherine Software released the game on 15 November 2013.[3]
An expansion pack, Eclipse of Nashira, was announced on July 29, 2014, and released on September 19, 2014.[4][5]
